Elizabeth's tale begins in the colonial embrace of British India, 1936, where she was cradled in privilege and steeped in Christian tradition. At nineteen, she veered from the path expected of her, embarking on a bohemian chapter that defied her upbringing. Yet, the winds of change ushered in a period of stability when she married her soulmate. Embracing the joys and challenges of motherhood, Elizabeth raised eight children, overturning the preconceived notion ingrained since childhood that she would never work. Her life's journey defied expectations, from a teenager's rebellion to a dedication to family and work that spanned from the tender age of 16 to the seasoned age of 70.

Ida Grace Nina Dudman - known as Dolly to her family - was born when Queen Victoria was the Empress of India on 18th December 1897 and died on Easter Sunday 1983. She was brought up like a little princess but suffered much tragedy and upheaval in her life - two world wars, the Indian independence struggle, partition and most of all her long separation from her great love although they did manage to be reunited after seventeen years apart.Despite marrying a Muslim, she remained true to her upbringing and culture unlike many who completely lost their identity after marrying out of their own community.She has no memorial, no gravestone, nothing. But this book is - hopefully - the assurance that she will never be forgotten.
